This year, HAF was able to partner with three regional nonprofit housing organizations to provide closing cost grants up to $10,000 for eligible first-time homebuyers from underserved communities. To date, HAF has successfully distributed nearly $400,000 in their goal toward $1 million dollars for the year.

Do you want to make a fully-deductible donation and join us in making three summer cocktails while playing trivia for prizes?! Join our HAF community, C.A.R. CEO John M. Sebree and C.A.R.
